Malaysian New Year-

I've finally decided to blog again...so tired n lazy these days...Not much nice photos too cause I really wasn't in the mood to shoot them in Malaysia, just too tired.

For those who don't know, I have half of my extended family and relatives in Malaysia. This year I've decided to visit my hometown in Malaysia.

"How did I get to malaysia?"

It's exciting cause I went with my singaporean cousins, and none of us knew nuts about the malaysia roads or even get to my kampung hometown. So we just WHACK only. We travelled there using a super small 1L car. It's the mickey mouse car!





Such a tiny car, but we were travelling at like 140-160km/h! (singapore speed limit is only like 90km/h?!?!) At some point it felt like we were flying off the road. It's crazy. It's about 8 hours drive to my hometown.

And some may ask:

"What's the difference between a Singapore and Malaysia CNY?"

Difference no.1: There's a whole lot more eating.

There isn't much new year goodies like Singapore. Just tons of home cooked dishes. Fish soup beehoon with wine, curry chicken, homemade cookies, chicken rice, timsum, braised ducks, fried noodles, pratas. It's just the usual dishes, but trust me, the malaysian version taste way better. It's also partly due to the ingredients that the kampungs have, it so much fresher and without all that chemicals n crap.

No nice pics to show, but here's afew:

Went to my fav timsum place. It's better den any singaporean one.


Salted egg flavoured fried chicken, it tasted awesome. (Sorry this is a damn ugly picture!)


The flies will usually come and disturb you during your meals. That's the amount of flies you can harvest in like an hour.


Difference no.2: The activities are happening!

One of my relatives had a cny gathering at his warehouse for his workers and we were invited. The freeflow of food was great! But the unlimited supply of satay won our hearts...

The satay really tasted awesome!


My cousin from singapore trying to make his trip worthwhile! Think he might have had like 30sticks of satay!


The no.1 favourite of malaysian kampung celebrations is to have their own portable K-Box!

My parents singing. My dad's a great singer. I probably got most of my wadever music genes from him.

The man in green is my brother. He's damn tall..=(

Difference no.3: It is alot more EXPLOSIVE den singapore's CNY!

These are the usual sparkles that our poor little singapore kids get to play during new year. (This boy gets my vote for being my cutest nephew)


This one is probably banned in our homeland. It's a stick that shoots fireball explosives into the air!



This is another kind that launches from the ground! I love the way it explodes!


Looks like a stary night in the outter space:

This is getting more exciting! 1x super duper long firecrackers! My relatives said that this firecracker is so super duper long, it'll make the whole kampung blur when we fire it! Insane







Too bad I dun have a video of that. And just when you think that's about all my hometown has got...there's still more....Check this out:











It's freakin hard to take fireworks. I realised that through this trip.

Some other random pics from the trip:

Went to some jetty...


The super old school electrical switches that u seldom see in singapore nowadays


Retro motor bike! Wonder if it's even reliable..

I think this lorry was already there since when I was young. That super dusty car is a MERC!

Climb to the roof top of my house and took a shot.

Emo shot!



Hehe I like my fat cousins, they're cute and they eat all the time haha!



My fav handsome nephew!


My act cool cousin


The trip back was disgusting. 2hour jam at the causeway! Just look at the trail of cars. Ppl could actually get off their cars for a walk.
